Some guy from a Boston TV station reported his "sources" told him there was a secret meeting Monday. An announcement to end the lockout should come today or tomorrow. Almost everyone else has dismissed this, although he apparently has some credibility with 2 previous scoops.

Now, this was yesterday/early this AM. I haven't heard anything more recent about the lockout being over.

His two previous scoops were both regarding Bruins' players which means he may have an in with the Bruins and/or Jeremy Jacobs.

I'd still take it with a grain of salt, but it's pretty hard to dismiss it completely.

Here's the only thing that I believe is positive about the meeting: I do not believe that the Pens organization would not have Burkle at the meeting if they felt it could damage their relationship with Sid.

I feel like I got plagarized in this article. He stole my thoughts from the previous page about the players needing the perception that they didn't get crushed for a second time. yeah, I know, real original.
